Within the same multilevel meta-analysis of computer-assisted word reading interventions, transfer outcomes to reading comprehension were analyzed separately; the review reports "69 effect sizes with an average of 0.21 (95% CI 0.13–0.29)".

"There was also evidence of transfer to reading comprehension, 69 effect sizes with an average of 0.21 (95% CI 0.13–0.29)."
